Fun fact RE: The Internet: It was literally designed to survive a nuclear holocaust.
Networks at the time all had a central node, and any such node would obviously be a target for a nuke. So, the Internet was designed so that you could blow 90% of it up, and the remaining 10% would keep working.
Unfortunately, I live in a city with both an air force and naval base. I’m less than 10km in a direct line to the centre of the city. Unless I get a fair bit of warning, our family is toast.
I’m a little further from the CBD but once they blow up the data centers and the lines internet is gone. I’ll have to wait a little longer for radiation to get to me.
